All of that said, I am on a path to get into more of an outside business development manager, so I'm glad the company is trying to work me up into a better position and further my career.

Bossbro and his bossbro got on a video call with me together to congratulate me, I was never given the offer to turn it down Ultimately though, it seems the management piece will likely be fairly temporary if I want it to be and will be good experience, so overall it is .

Congrats man, that's really in order. At the very least, they see the potential in you to be promoted. Despite being a bit meh for you personally, it's pretty overall. People management skills are good to develop IMO.

I've never been with a company that I feel valued me. You at least have that...and that's pretty awesome.

I see this as a win/win. Yeah, in the grand scheme $4k ain’t much, but you’re only going to be responsible for 2 people, and you still retain sales role. This is good because if sales go down, you will probably not be held to as high of a sales goal standard since you’re in management as well.

But I view this as a trial period for you and for
The company. For them to see if you are as good as they believe you to be, and for you to determine whether management is the track you want to take.

However, not many people getting $4K + responsibility raises in this environment, especially in sales companies. Take it and run. Flourish and kill it.

Funny enough, I hadn't planned on any video calls today and look like dog shit after a long bike ride... they busted out video, so I just went for it

They expressed that we will have some other new positions in Q3/Q4, so this is a bit of a "let's confirm which route all of us want to take as we grow this division".

Seems to be the "norm".

Does anyone have any sort of experience with moving to an income tax free state?

If you're worth a shit you can't just lay on the beach drinking Mai Tais forever. Getting promotions without being an ass kissing self aggrandizing fool is the way to do it Dan, congratulations.

Nah too far. We're exploring adding a primary residence due to taxes in another state. Was curious what the "requirements" are.
